I have 4 years of experience taking care of cats. My first cat has a very typical grumpy-cat personality, I've grown to earn his trust and his love. My second cat, who lives with my is very dog-like an upbeat. As for special skills, I know how to bathe cats and clip cat nails. I also enjoy taking cats outside on a harness for walks (if they enjoy the outdoors). Although my expertise lies more in cats, I enjoy walking and playing with dogs! I am very adaptable and sensitive to the needs of all pets. I am a graduate student at UVA. Each morning I wakeup feed and clean, groom and lightly play with cats. I go to school for about 5 hours each day. The best part of my day is coming home to my cat. I prefer to study and do work at home. In study breaks, I check on my cat and make sure needs are met! I also have a cat-cam in my living room to make sure everything is fine while I am at school. I usually end nights with playing with pets! I live in a quiet two bedroom apartment with plenty of space for kitties to roam around! I have lots of window space for cats to sit at and a small patio. I occasional leash and take cats out for fresh air if they so desire!
